i find ep 7 couldve been handled better while still avoiding the darker chapters. ie:

Spoiler:

moka kicks mizore's butt half way thru the ep and they have 3 kids frozen and hurt while shirayuki gets framed for hurting them. the kids end up hospitalised and moka beats the teacher in the end for attacking mizore again.

overall i find the deviation that the teacher got hospitalised was the worst, the rest i dont mid too much

Thing is there's no need for Moka to come to the rescue!! Tsukune is suposed to be all GARified by now!!

Thats the sad thing about this, because they've limited themselves to 12/13 episodes they can't fdelve into the actual story arcs. So all we're left with is Moka rescuing Tsukune every week, which is crap.

It wouldn't be so bad if they followed the manga more, for example in the latest episode Shirayuki is a baddie WTF is that about, and she gets beaten up by vamp Moka, again WTF. In the manga she's just a misunderstood girl, who gets rescued by Tsukune. Moka's only part in the rescue is to give her blood to him (without going all vamped out), then watching as he pulls Shirayuki up, then beats the snot out of the teacher.

you might not consider it a spoiler or maybe a small one. The fact stands that the student discipline arc hasn't been animated yet, and Tsukune GAR'ness isn't show yet hence its a spoilers for non-manga reader.

Moka saving the day ALL the time is pathetic

Spoiler for manga:

you need to remember that in the manga it took time till he became GAR.
even if in the anime they changed the order of some of the things so that it would seem possible to make him GAR by now, they seem to be planning to do it in another way.
and about the lenghth. it may be a pretty accurate way to estimate the lenght of the show by the DVDs but its just that. an estimate.
it could prove to be 26 eps in the end.
and even if not, it could simply have a second more serius season.
they could simply be planning to go in to one of the farther arcs and they cant have things just the same as in the manga..

Not possible, unless they intend to pull the story out of their arses (which lets face it is more probable than them following the manga)

Season 2 of the manga has really only just started, and it's going slow.

Tsukune should be GAR by now, however given the number of epiosdes out, and the number in the season, it's impossible for them to turn it around and do the series justice anymore. They cut out some of the really important bits of the manga, and left in some dross that frankly was only their to fill the desire of the ecchi fans. They've basically thrown out the story and gone for 'how many boobs and panties can we show', alone with 'how to make tsukune even weaker'.

Sure they could do a serious second season, however the damage has been done. Out of curiosity i asked a few people from other boards and blogs about what they though, only a few of them are still watching, and amost all of them said they wouldn't bother with a second season.

You could have the greatest second season in the world, but if you've lost your viewers because of a shite first season it's 10x as hard to get them back to watch the new season.

You have to ask yourself one question though, why would they even go about doing a first season like this, and save all the good material for a second season? It's just one of the reasons why i can't see a second season happening.

It is a huge shame that we're not seeing the manga animated, though that doesn't mean i'm not enjoying the anime. It can be pretty fun at times, and i just love the narration by Koyasu and him voicing the lol bat.

You could look at it this way --- the anime should have more people interested with checking out the manga.

I agree it's highly unlikely we'll see a second season. Not impossible though *cough*girls bravo, ikkitousen*cough* But i don't think they could get a second season to work.

I agree the series does have it's fun moment, but those, to me, are out weighed by the sloppyness of the rest. The bat could of been better used as doing the narration for the 'bite sized' facts from the manga on the various monsters. He wouldn't be so damned annoying that way i think.

And yeah, i think the only good thing to come out of this will be more people checking out the manga. But i'm hoping Viz don't butcher it, they're notorius for murdering their shonen titles. They should let the Shojo department handle this one

Overall I agree alot of things could’ve been handle better in certain area, and I agree with Tsukune being GAR would add another good element to the show. While the format of introducing all the girls at once does ruin the spirit of the manga but judging the anime base on its own merit it’s decent and fun to watch but before everything else I will wait to see how the anime plays out and the final conclusion it brings. As the ED hinted the anime will probably finish at chapter 10.

Again my expectation on anime is never high, not that I expect a lot of directors to follow the manga page by page and the only example I can think of where an anime follow its manga counterpart by the book was Death Note to some degree.

As for second seasons anything is possible it’s not like we haven’t witness shows with complete anime original ending having second season or third season.

I don't think this one as a bad anime (the event loop has become quite boring though) and since I'm not reading the manga (to be honest I don't have the necessary skills to read it) the diferences between anime and manga mean nothing to me.
I'm still watching it due to all the manga spoilers out there and since a know what may happen (at least I hope it will) I think R+V has a lot of potential. In fact FMP-TSR was a little boring until the last two eps. Either way I'm still with the anime, I don't think it will disappoint me.

Although I love seeing the characters animated the First few episodes were PANTSU FEST. their cutting back a little so the episodes are getting better. but the "swimsuit" episode was the worst by far as far as fan-service goes.
I love Mizore tho.....but this animu has taken a turn for the worst. perhaps another studio will do the 2nd season instead of lolgonzo.
I mean the shows not "horrible" by any means, but I cant help feel a little cheated by the manga being so bastardized

Overall an enjoyable episode with fun interaction between the newspaper club members and Shirayuki involvement fun fun.
With Aya Hisakawa voicing Lilico Sensei it just got more erotic. If only the teachers at my school were that sexy I might've learnt more.

Favourite quote in episode 8
"How naive, small and palmable are what's selling these day" (going by ASS translation)

How I burst into a laughing frenzy after hearing that ^^, its hold alot of validity with the current trend in anime.
